Very walkable

Cute and cozy. Great location to downtown. Easy walk to restaurants, laundromat, pubs and markets. The walls were a bit thin and could hear street noise but it didn’t last long as the city quiets down fairly early. We would reserve this place again!

Great Place!

We absolutely loved our time here! Great location, right across the street from the river and really close to all the fun local attractions Bend has to offer. We were able to walk pretty much everywhere and felt completely safe doing so. The place was exactly as described in the listing and we had access to everything we needed.

Close to it all

We struggled in the beginning to get the off street parking sorted out as another tenant was taking up multiple parking spots (normally not a problem but this location is in the pickup zone for river floaters, experiences at Drake Park, so street parking is a premium), but once that was sorted out, great place to stay. Loved the proximity to everything. The unit was well appointed and would definitely stay here again. Chris @ iTrip NW was great to deal with.

Convenient Spot for A Couple Looking to Venture Around Town

When we first pulled up and saw just a small space open between three other vehicles, we were afraid I'd made some mistake and booked a room in a shared house. We were immediately relieved and pleasantly so to find a cozy, immaculately kept space perfect for two people. It was obvious someone really cared for the place. This was the cleanest rental property I've ever stayed in and had really nice touches, from organic soaps to locally sourced coffee and the sort of appliances and kitchenware you'd have in your own house. It didn't at all feel cheap or tossed together, like some rental places. The place was warm and comfortable. Best part is the location: you're walking distance from 10 Barrel and that whole scene right across the river and you're right on the park. You can experience Bend without a car, if you wanted. Overall great spot. Would visit again.

Cute tiny house in good location

We were looking for a place to stay close to downtown with our own kitchen so we could save on food expenses. This place is cute, tiny, in a great location, and has a fully functional kitchen which is what we needed. Coming in at about the same nightly price as a Bend hotel room, it feels like a much better value. Everything was just as described and the keyless entry was super easy for checking in and out. Neighborhood is very safe, we felt fine parking one car in the driveway and another in the neighborhood (pay careful attention to parking restrictions!). The park and lake across the way were a lovely place to have coffee before walking into town.

Bend Sept 2024

Convenient location to downtown Bend. Trouble with air conditioning. Loud clicking noise made sleeping with AC on at night impossible. Reported to iTrip including video and sound they requested. ITrip sent message they will send a “team” over to fix, mesaage followed the “team” said AC was “ defrosting” and “fixed” temp on ac was set at 70 so I didn’t understand “defrosting” comment. Returned in the evening and problem still exists reported again no response until 3rd day when response was “will talk to mgmt” Four days wo air conditioning at night during heat wave and smoke warnings. Over priced mini house with poor mgmt and response. Very good at automated texts asking for 5 stars reviews.

A beautiful location in Bend Oregon

The Drake college is located right at the end of Drake Park. What a beautiful spot and an easy walk into the downtown area. The cottage is small, but very comfortable, with a nice functioning little kitchen. Everything was beautifully maintained. And nicely decorated. On an additional note, one day after checking out, I discovered I had left several articles of clothing behind. I contacted Leanne and explain to her. By the next morning she had verified that the articles were still there, and I could pick them up, fortunately, I was still in Bend at the time. We’ve all had this experience before, inadvertently, leaving something behind. Often times those things, just mysteriously disappear, at least that’s been my experience. The Leanne and her team save the day.

Darling retro property

It is important to note that it was very difficult to find the property due to the address being incorrect. We love the comfort and the design and the location of Drake cottage 473. After returning back to the cottage late last night, we discovered water on the floor in the kitchen. We were able to turn the water off to prevent water damage.
